Coutinho calls Diniz as ex-Vasco coach says goodbye at training ground

Fernando Diniz received a call from Philippe Coutinho after his dismissal on Sunday, which followed a 1-0 defeat to Fluminense in the Campeonato Carioca semi-finals.

According to Globo.com, the midfielder, who terminated his Vasco contract last week, thanked the coach during the conversation. They had worked together for almost a year and a half.
